I have shot a bunch of photos here, the place is really cool. \u00a0This section of the plant has been out of use for quite some time and the\u00a0elements\u00a0have really done a number on it. \u00a0Pigeons, bats and\u00a0vagrants\u00a0have been the only residents\u00a0over the past 30 years and it shows.<\/p>\n

There are a ton of places to explore and its\u00a0fairly safe as long as you watch out for the holes in the floor and the huge killer wasps. \u00a0I’ve been here a few times and so far haven’t crossed paths with any wanderers or aliens. When it was easier to cross the river in this area, I’d be willing to wager this was a major stopping ground to stop and rest or change clothes.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/dt>\n- The green room<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n
I’m going to come back one more time and go into the main office area but for that one I think i’ll bring somebody with me. \u00a0It’s in an upstairs portion and there’s to many dark places for somebody to be hiding out.<\/p>\n
